oh yah for sure yah....

Hello, hello!

So a couple minor changes since the last post...

1 - Mr. Bartender is no longer a bartender. I suppose that should create some sort of existential blogger crisis but given how often this thing has been updated I suspect my blog identity was tarnished awhile ago! I gotta admit that while I really did love bartending and it helped me come out of my shell on so many levels, I'm glad to be done with it for now. Working two jobs for the past 7 years took a toll on my personal life and was getting to be a little harder to manage than when I was 21.

And since quitting the bar felt so good, why stop there? By that I mean...

2 - Mr. Bartender is totally unemployed. Yes indeed I quit my day job as well. No I didn't win the lotto, strike it big at the slots, or sleep with a rich old troll. No, no - I decided to move on.

And move on I did...

3 - Mr. Bartender moved to Minneapolis. And holy frozen fuck is it cold. As I type this its 6 degrees out which is "warm" compared to the -16 it was this past weekend. Why the hell did I move to Minneapolis you ask? Well, the boyfriend got a kick ass job offer and I came along for the ride. It's been a little bit of a bumpy ride but we got through some of the bigger potholes (inept movers and fucking comcast (comcastic my ass!) were two big ones) and are slowly getting the hang of this new city.

Homesickness has been a little issue we've both had to deal with. Luckily some of the peeps have already made plans to come and visit. Just knowing the friends are on their way helps even though it's still a little ways off. Oh and ordered some concert tickets to some shows the new few months. I plan on closing my eyes for a little bit at each one and pretend I'm at the 930 Club. Now I just need to find a room full of shirtless furry men dancing and kissing so I can pretend I'm at Blowoff!

More to come later, but for now I'm signing off to cuddle up with my warm fuzzy fur ball luva...

oh for a future post perhaps, but one final observation - I think there is a reason they call it Minnesota Nice and not Minnesota Pretty.
